Southern Italy Wall Map 1834 - J. Arrowsmith

Towns, Rivers & Provinces — Southern Italy Wall Map (1834)

A snapshot of the peninsula in the early nineteenth century, rendered with clarity and restraint. This Southern Italy sheet—produced by the cartographic house of J. Arrowsmith in 1834—brings provinces, communes, and coastal towns into sharp focus. Towns and villages, road hierarchies, provincial/state boundaries, and hydrography (rivers, lakes, coastline) are set out in clean, legible cartography that rewards both room-distance viewing and close study. It’s the fabric of southern Italy—connected, research-ready, and unmistakably of its era—made to study, admire, and display.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a reference frame for travel, trade, and settlement patterns in the 1830s. Every place-name and boundary line helps trace family origins and movements across historical duchies and kingdoms. Ideal for genealogists, educators, historians, designers, and collectors, this sheet stands alone beautifully and pairs perfectly with modern maps for then-and-now comparison.

Hang it in studies, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, research, and conversation.
